Although former Knicks coach Mike DíAntoni professed to love European players, sources told The Post he was against bringing in Spanish League point guard Pablo Prigioni the past few years.

The Post reported in July the Knicks had Prigioni on their radar for four years. According to multiple sources, Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald and European scout Kevin Wilson wanted to sign Prigioni, but never made an offer because of DíAntoniís reluctance. Sources said DíAntoni felt Prigioni was a third-stringer and didnít have the speed to make an NBA rotation.
